In a stark, post-collapse world where resources are the only currency, a lone survivalist Martin McCann guards his isolated woodland cabin and carefully cultivated garden with paranoid vigilance. His fragile self-sufficiency is shattered when a starving woman Olwen Fouere and her daughter Mia Goth arrive, desperate for shelter and food. This tense, atmospheric thriller from writer-director Stephen Fingleton explores the brutal calculus of trust in a lawless landscape, as the man’s rigid rules for survival are challenged by the complexities of human connection. Forced into an uneasy alliance, the trio must navigate not only the constant threat of starvation and the elements, but also the dangerous attention of other desperate survivors lurking in the woods. This gripping drama builds a palpable sense of dread, questioning what remains of humanity when society’s structures have crumbled away.
